Hello,

There are a set of fields that have to be filled to 'Yes' before marking the Activity as complete.

Options:

1. I dont want to make the field required, because they can take the time to do it.

2. If I set up a business rule, then there will be a popup all the time until the field is process - not a good user experience

3. Dynamics workflow as suggested by this article: https://www.crmsoftwareblog.com/2015/03/forcing-field-requirements-upon-closing-case-opportunity/ - I find that there must be a more user friendly experience than having 'Business process flow' pop up.

Any one have any suggestions?

thank you,

Hi Ikay,

I reviewed your query regarding the alert popup message. In my opinion, making the field Required, is quite simple to implement and can be applied to any fields. Another option is to use JavaScript in that field.

Go to Power Apps solution.

Select the table in which the field is located.

Open the main form.

Open switch to classic mode.

Choose form properties and add new JavaScript library.

Create new JavaScript library and add this code.

function lockLocationfield(executionContext)

{

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

        var Companyeaddresstype = formContext.getAttribute("hud_test").getValue();

        if (Companyeaddresstype == null) {

          alert('Test field is Required');

        }

    }

After adding the code, call the on save function.

This code runs when you save the record and displays a popup warning if the field is empty.
